just wanna know...
Whats your purpose in life?
what governs the way u live your life?

who knows? probably a different mission for each of us.

in a general sense, i've come to believe that we are here to learn how our thoughts, emotions, ideas, expectations and actions create our reality. how we decide to learn is where we individualize our mission.

why? who knows? but if i decided how i wanted to learn, then i must know within and of myself what is to be accomplished.

Im here to learn as much as possible and use it to make the rest of the world "better". I define what I mean by "better" too, (probably along the lines of getting everyone to think and behave in a productive manner, rather than destructive to society). Once again, I leave it up to my experiences and knowledge to shape what I constitute "productive".

A pursuit/purpose in life is to have sex and to reproduce? What if one believes their purpose is otherwise such like Newton, who may have died a virgin?

My purpose in life is connecting the dots. You know those books with numbered dots? That's my purpose, to connect them.

The collective purpose is something that is natural. It is written into the granite of ancient nature.

The individual purpose is something that we may choose to choose to create. If you choose not to create this, then it is easy to fall back on the collective purpose, and noone will think you the lesser for it.

From a biological standpoint it seems that the only purpose of life is to survive and reproduce.

Over the past 5 billion years Earth has been in exitence it seems that organisms are getting more and more complex and therefore more self aware, so in addition to the two above reasons for life I also include self awareness as a purpose for life. The fact that "Evil" is in a philosophy forum inquiring such questions that he, like myself, wish to obtain greater self awareness.

I've accepted that every one has a unique purpose but driven by the same meaning. That's a good enough reason for me to seek what I want and reach my own goals.

Goal is a vague term. Often when we self-deceptively think that we are pursuing our individual goals only to find out sooner that such goals have multiple levels of dependency upon several other things. And then we naively think of individually owning our own goals. My own sudies inform me that a goal is only worth its while when collectivelly pursued. The best goal is that derived via collective responsibility. It's the most likely one to last! You are probably thinking of 'EPHEMRAL GOALS' which may quite rightly be associated with individuals. PERMANENT GOALS are those collectivelly pursued many times over until subsequently or finally derived at.
